Interesting Facts
The attack costs for a region have changed. The cost used to be 20 gold plus 1 gold for every 4 citizens. Now it is 25 gold and 1 gold for every 10 citizens. So, who cares Moo, what does this mean? The cost to attack London used to be +1,100 gold in V1 now you can have the city for the bargain price of 190 gold. In fact the cost to wipe out the whole UK is only 600 gold now. Throw in a few MPP's with the big boys for support and for the amount of Money stolen in last two government heists and Ireland could have wiped the UK off the map.
Government Heists Update
Speaking of stolen money. I submitted tickets for the banc theft and Noggin did it for the meltdown of state companies. I got a reply from the admin yesterday stating they were forming a “special working group” to look into these type of complaints. Fingers crossed but I would not put much hope in them based on there track record.
Wake for an Irish Great
A lot of good people have left this game but I think we have to acknowledge the passing of one of the greats. I am sad to report that Patton will die tommorow. For those that did not know him he was a 5 time president of Ireland and one of our founding fathers starting to play the game at day 10 when Ireland consisted of a hand full of people. I would have to write a book to tell all the things Andrew accomplished or did in this game. He had a big ego, a good sense of humour, and was a leader. If you pointed out that he was CP 5 times he was quick to state he lost the CP race about 10 times. I had the pleasure of being his VP for two of his president runs. Since it is a wake I will have to tell a funny story or two while eating my sandwiches. In his last term of his Presidency he pissed off and went on a two week holiday in Alaska. Before he left he gave me his citizen account password, I was always tempted to just log in and push an attack button and say woops it was Patton but never did. He was more worried I would take his gold. Also tragically dying is Patton’s real life Fiancé Irish Princess. Her royal pink heinance was a great writer, very nice person and one of the most creatative people playing the game I have meet. For anyone who did not know her she was also very smart and hard working. Her ongoing feud with Dylan was epic and made some great reading. So, where ever you are in the world raise your glass to the passing af an Irish Legend and his partner. Remember them when voting this month for life time achievement awards.
On a side note Digits made an apearance on the IRC yesterday and his charicter is not dead. Must be Haloween, ghosts are rising from the dead.
Battle Heroes Made Simple part 3
So I covered when, where, and how much if costs to fight. So let’s look at how to fight real quickly. It is pretty basic so not much to write about here. One tip I found is if you are going to fight with guns use a combination of high and low quality guns. This way when an enemy is almost dead you do not have to waste your high quality guns killing them. I thought at first that my health some how effected the amount of damage I could do, so I ate in between every attack. I do not think this is the case and only eat when my health gets to the bottom. Be careful you do not commit suicide and get your health so low you die. After travelling back from a fight once I got my health down to 8.
I have got some funny PM from people I was competing against in battle from around the world. A Serbian once wrote to me and asked how come all my attacks were in range of 500 damage and he could only do 100? I realized the computer selects opponents for you to kill based on your strength. I get targets in the range of 250 to 750. My friend Sean when he fought was getting them in range of 80 to 120, another mystery solved.
Last thing on how to fight is make sure you have the right web browser. I use Internet explorer normally but it locks up when tiring to fight. Kolshire told me the secret which is you have to use firefox which does not lock up. I have been using that for fighting since.
Question of the Day
Last articles Question of the Day prize was won by my friend Dylan. To the question “why can Noggin kick more ass then me” Dylan responded “your hoof gets caught in the trigger” So this article questions of the day is: I got Permantly banned for about 10 hours AGAIN the other day along with JSK. This is the secound time this has happened to me. Is it more barn yard prejudice or is it revenge for all the people I have killed around the world. So the question is why do I keep getting banned for no reason. 1 gold prize to the best answer in the comments.
Speacial thanks goes out to Commis for the Grammer leson in the comments of my last article. Maybe we found a way that you can actually contribute something to this country, you can be my eSecratary and correct my articles. Tea with two sugars and a biscut please, and keep the grammer comments coming.

Long story short, lets hurry up and wipe the buggers. 😃 Good article though, some nice tips and stuff.
Ireland is a lot cheaper to be attacked now too ofc, super nations are bound to be a much bigger feature of erepublik as long as these war costs remain so low and once one side gives.
RIP
Voted and good info.
Patton, and Irish Princess. Sorely missed.
Good article.
o7 Patton and IP 😘(
Nice Work Moo

rofl, funny stuff about Commius. I also remember the Patton vacation and the massive temptation too. 🙂
o7 to Patton and IP. 😘( Patton gave me my first cabinet position as Minister of New Citizens when I was just a wee noob just out of nappies! And IP was an excellent successor to that very same position as well as an excellent writer.
Aya, it does make me sad to see those two go. Definitely a loss for Ireland.
Yea, great article Moo.
RIP Patton and IP
Would be great to have Digits back.
Come on Ireland, go take over the UK!
u keep getting as they want your meat for dinner,
Also...The reason you keep getting banned is because the admins found out the "mad Cow" disease originated with you. YOU WILL MAKE US ALL SICK!
I think you keep getting banned because when the soldiers on the battlefield came and asked you for milk, you thought they were the enemy and kicked them off the battlefield.
the reason you keep getting banned moo is simples.. your just too sexy of a cow, all the other cows are super mega jealous and distracted by your sexness....
so your banned so the other cows can get some walk done....
issue closed..
Nice article and they keep banning you because your hooves hit so many wrong keys on the keyboard that you probably blew up Florida or something
Aye, tis less pink now that IP is gone. Normally, I wouldn't care, but tis saddening. Patton sent me my first message. *sniff*
Anywho, thanks for the tips on killing people.
And you keep getting banned because the admins are convinced that you are, in fact, a real cow, whose owner is using to act as a multi.
Nice article. o7
"So the question is why do I keep getting banned for no reason"
There is a reason and it's that you're a marked man (cow).
Some people look nicer six feet under.
Also, thought I'd give and a spelling lesson saying as you loved grammar lessons so much.
